Its only been about a week since I did that cut. Ill have to experiment with it when I get it dry.
Here's a piece of elm I milled just for the heck of it. Very dark when wet, but I think it usually gets a bit lighter once it gets to a lower...
First time using the chainsaw mill since this summer. Piece of ash and a piece of elm. The ash was a branch that fell at the neighbors that I cut...
I recently took down a small elm for firewood. I figured I'd let it sit for awhile until the bark falls off, because it falls off quickly, but I...
Neighbors, who I've gotten lots of wood from in the past, had a half of an ash tree come down during the tornado storms last week. They've also...
More wood for me then! Took this elm down today. Last time I had elm I left it in the round for a few months then split it when the bark was...
Ash and silver maple are the majority. Elm, hackberry and mulberry are plentiful as well.
I found the other half of your tree! This was also an elm that I found last year at the neighbors lot. I think it measured around 33 inches in...
I filed a claim for my hookaroon. It took about a week or so for them to get back to me to let me know it was on the way. Hasn't got here yet so...
That silver maple sure is easy splitting. Im working on about a cord and a half of it right now.
Black locust must be a lot more stringy than honey locust. I just split a small pile of honey locust and it split relatively easy. Heavy stuff too.
Here is Radar chewing up all my hard work. He likes to run off with chunks and scatter them all over the yard. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I got to splitting some of those rounds and I gave it another sniff. It actually smells pretty good and split easy. The picture doesn't do just to...
Question. Is your truck a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton? And what is your payload? If its a mid 2000 1/2 ton, I've used one similar with a short box. Just...
I'll try to remember to do that tomorrow. Cherry splits pretty easy don't it?
Yea, it had broad leaves at the top and a crown. Im pretty sure its a hardwood and the leaves looked similar to a cherry tree. If it is id like to...
It's been a busy week. I started on this wood last weekend. A guy had cut down two trees in his yard in town and had cut it up and stacked it. I...
I've gotten some wood that looks exactly like that magnolia and was curious what it was. It is noticeably lighter than everything else. Mine also...
We have covered in past years with tarps and it always ended poorly. We live on a hill in Iowa and the wind tends to rip them apart. With a lack...
That was my first guess but I've never seen a cherry tree in person.
